Extended a friend's network with this unit. Essentially just "plug and play". Experienced no problems. No configuration necessary. All the computers that were plugged into this unit came up to 1gbs speed (all had 1gbs adapters). Be sure to use at least Cat5e cables or better.

Since my cable box remote burns thru batteries like there is no tomorrow, I thought I'd give these a try. Can't beat the price when on sale. They are the Alkaline type - not the lower quality "heavy duty" ones.

These are the ones you should buy. They last the longer than the rest. They are 2400 mAh batteries. All the other ones have lower current ratings. Primary use is in my Xbox controllers.

Only really needed a 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adapter - so had to buy the whole kit to get the one that I needed. Adapters work.Cable works. Nice and tight fittings.

As a child you played with wooden or plastic blocks to create what you saw in the world around you — a house, a car, a bridge, a cement mixer. In high school, you built lamps, signs and more in shop class. You've also constructed full worlds, filled with realistic people simulating real life. Now, you can go back to your childlike roots and build with blocks again — but this time they're virtual blocks, and you can use them to create vibrant, 3D worlds that are filled with adventure and the magic of imagination.Get ready to build whatever pops into your mind when you jump into the 3D, eight-bit worlds of Minecraft. Brought to life on your Xbox One, Minecraft lets you flex and hone your creative might as you construct literally any and everything you can think of. Grab your controller and start stacking virtual blocks to build the open-world of your dreams. Just make sure to make a shelter before nightfall, as that's when the monsters emerge. Are you ready to construct the world of your dreams in nostalgic, eight-bit fashion?

Great game with the opportunity to spend millions of hours mining square blocks. There still are a few bugs in the game (Nether portals), but nothing to spoil it. They are still adding new options and materials all the time with updates.

Using this drive to expand the storage capability of an Xbox One because the internal drive was full. Been running for about a month now with no problems so far. Sometimes the Xbox does not turn the external drive off, sometimes it does (still a bug in Xbox One console software). Wish they would fix that. Hate to see the drive spin 24x7, but it is surviving so far.

Lots of fun

Good game. Lots of fun and entertainment. Couldn't help put laugh on some of the outrageous parts. Did have a hard time driving - my GOW4 controller is way to sensitive and causes to much over steer. Hopefully I can get this adjusted. Worth the money. Many hours of fun.

Tested this flash drive by loading it up with 4K video files. Plugged it into the USB 3.0 port on my Sony 4K TV, and it played all the files just fine. No problem there with speed (for a TV). Will do a speed test on the device later and post results.

Great eye-candy
on May 7, 2017
Posted by: dvguru
from Colorado
Verified Purchase:Yes
Spectacular scenery, action scenes, and overall great eye candy. But the movie was full of technical flaws - there must not have been a continuity director nor a technical director on this movie. The weapons used were just AR-15 airsoft rifles with some extra "bling" on them. And pistols used were just Lugers with more bling - not a single originally designed weapon in this movie. Hair styles were not consistent from scene to scene either. The CGI for Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher were TERRIBLE. Grade school kids do better character CGI than this. When you see these kind of mistakes through out the movie, it starts to look kinda "cheap" and home-made. Not a true-to-form Star Wars series movie. But, still I give it 5 stars for action & story. Still need to play the 3D version yet. Good Bluray quality. 133 minutes long.

Store up to 5TB of media on this Seagate Backup Plus STDT5000100 external hard drive, which features Protect, Save and Share features that enable simple integration with social networking sites and provide comprehensive data management.
 

Is Seagate 5TB external hard drive compatable with Windows XP OS?

Does the Seagate Backup Plus 5TB desktop external hard drive work with the Windows XP USB 2.0 service pack 2 operating system?
I would say "Kinda Maybe" for the following reasons - #1. The drive comes with a USB 3.0 cable & an external power adapter, so you don't have to worry about pulling power from your USB ports. #2. The Specs posted on the Seagate site say Win 7 and higher: (Mac OS X 10.7 or higher or Windows 8, Windows 7 operating system). But there is no reason why it shouldn't work (On XP with USB 2.0).
The drive is supposed to be USB 2.0 compatible, but if you used it on a 2.0 connection, you'll be feeling the pain real quick in USB's 2.0 terribly slow transfer rates. Don't even invest in this unless you have USB 3.0.
As for XP SP2, it would be a "Maybe Not". Try downloading a copy of SP3 and install that first.
I wouldn't put up with the pain of XP and USB 2.0.

Easily store important documents, special photos and more with this Seagate internal hard drive that features a 1TB capacity and a Serial ATA interface for easy connectivity. QuietStep technology ensures quiet operation.
 

will this hard drive fit my hp g7-1338dx

Yes. the hp g7-1338dx uses a SATA drive, the 1TB is SATA. The hp g7-1338dx came with a max size of 750 gig, so if you can clone the drive directly over, you can use any spare drive space on the new drive to make another partition.
